Rebecca cared for my dog like she was her own! She communicated efficiently, sent pictures, followed Remi’s routine, and kept the house clean. 10/20, would highly recommend. Remi looks forward to seeing her again!

About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I’m not yet in school. I do have a lot of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!

Morgan is FANTASTIC! We ended up booking on short notice and Morgan made an effort to meet us, the dogs, and cat first before taking care of our babies alone. The dogs took to Morgan so quickly! Morgan was very attentive and communicated frequently. I was able to relax knowing my guys were in great hands! Morgan went above an beyond what was asked when taking care of our 2 shepherds. You can tell Morgan has a passion for animals and we will definitely be booking again!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m attentive to routines, patient with anxious pets, and always focused on keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in providing reliable, loving care. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins, walks, and other services on weekdays after at any time. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and consistent care while fitting seamlessly into my routine. My home is a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I have one friendly, well-socialized yorkie and always introduce new pets slowly and carefully. I’m happy to crate pets if requested and strictly follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special care instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

Jessica gives excellent service. She is committed, respectful, flexible with her schedule if possible, and tends to one’s needs. Most importantly, she loves pets and that really made me feel good while I was gone. I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available. I recommend her to anyone in this area looking for some help with their pets :)

About: Hey there 👋 My name is Haley Szramoski. I am originally from Northern Virginia. I graduated from James Madison University in May of 2023, and I excited to meet new pet friends! I have 20+ years of experience with pets, having grown up in a home with both cats and dogs. I first began pet sitting in 2013 and officially joined rover in August of 2023. Since then, I have cared for many pets in the DMV; including, barn cats, reactive dog breeds, high energy dogs, senior pets, large animals (70lbs+), and more. I love every animal I come into contact with and I look forward to meeting your pet soon!! 💛💛 I work in a hybrid environment so once we connect we can work together to find a schedule that works for both your pet and my needs. While I cannot provide in-home pet care at my residence, I promise to provide the safest and most comfortable care to your fur friends via a drop in visit, home sitting, or a walk. I follow all the instructions outlined for your animal per the rover profile and meet and greet conversation. I will ensure that your pet is treated with love and respect! 🐈

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a very attentive and patient pet owner myself. I have a German Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable handling large, high-energy dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I’m also very observant with animals and pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routines so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get plenty of care, walks, and affection. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have a dog of my own. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Because of this, adding dog walks or drop-in visits fits easily into my day, and I’m able to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed while their owner is away. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure everything is left exactly as I found it.

Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 5 years through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of love and attention while owners are away. I can comfortably administer oral medications, perform basic grooming like brushing and wiping paws, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Currently I am working from home which will allow for me to be as flexible as needed to watch all of your furry friends whenever necessary! I ensure that pets in both my home and my friends or clients' homes receive attention and loving care, tailored to their individual needs and routines.

About: I’m the kind of sitter who makes pets feel like they’ve known me forever, safe, seen, and ready for a good time. I bring a mix of high energy, real experience, and a genuine love for all kinds of pets. I’m great with puppies who need structure, rescues who need patience, and seniors who need comfort and consistency. I read body language well, keep pets active and engaged, and tailor everything to their personality so they feel safe, confident, and cared for, and at the end of the day, pets get someone who’s fully present, tuned in, and committed to making their time feel good and stress free( since they have so much responsibility). 🤗 Use my promo code for your first visit: KAITLM75162 Profile link: https://www.rover.com/sit/kaitlm75162 I structure my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins, so caring for pets naturally fits into my morning and evening rhythm. I’m active and outside often, which makes daily walks and enrichment easy to build in. Weekly, I plan extra time for longer walks, yard play, and any overnight care that’s needed. I stay attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s extra exercise, slow introductions, or a calm environment for seniors or rescues. I follow the owner’s routines closely so pets stay in their familiar rhythm. Walks, feeding, medication, and enrichment are done exactly as instructed. I keep the home tidy, respect boundaries, and make sure pets get the same level of attention, affection, and structure they’re used to.

About: I have several years of experience providing dependable and compassionate pet care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have cared for both small and large adult dogs through regular walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am comfortable handling energetic, strong dogs as well as senior dogs that require a gentler approach. My priority is always the safety, happiness, and well-being of every dog, and I treat each pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to check in on pets. Prefer morning walks and late afternoon walks.Have an open schedule. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I make sure they stay comfortable by following their regular routines. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, let them outside for bathroom breaks, clean up after them, administer medication if instructed, and spend quality time playing with and comforting them. I also keep the home clean and secure by bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and ensuring doors and gates are locked before leaving. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while they are away.

About: I have been around animals all of my life. In 2014 I got my very own fur babies and have been in love. I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish, chinchillas, hamster's and hermit crabs. I have completed tasks such as feeding, giving water, letting them outside or walking when necessary. Also we can’t forget about playtime!! I work part-time as a Nanny 7-9am so im free most of the day during the week. Most weekends I am available as well. Feel free to message me with exact day times. I have a fenced in backyard and two girl shitzu puddles if cared for at my home. In clients home I will ensure each time pet is being walked they are on a leash and follow owners requests.

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dog breeds my whole life. I’ve also owned cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I have 2+ years of experience with taking care of bearded dragons and I’ve had a couple visits with snakes, specifically corn snakes. I work with any and all dogs/cats. I also like to send pics/videos of the pets to their owners daily for that reassurance that their fur baby is taken care of with the upmost care! I’m currently a full-time college student. I’m available any day and any time of the week. I’m usually available last minute as well and around holidays if needed. I currently have 4 dogs; 3 Yorkies and 1 Boarder Collie mix. They’re set on a twice per day feeding and their internal clock is set to those times. If I were to be in a clients home, I would do my best to ensure the animal stays in their routine and their feeding/medication is on schedule. They’d get plenty of play times and unlimited cuddles!

About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life, and I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of pets over the years. From my very first fish and family cats to now raising three wonderful dogs and my beloved cat, Willow, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animals. With years of hands on experience, I know how to provide pets with the attentive, loving care they deserve. I also have recently started the Vet Assistant program at CSM to help further my career in animal care. Whether it’s feeding, grooming, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. With an open and flexible schedule, I’m excited to finally pursue my true passion, working with animals. I have over 6–8 years of experience in pet care and pet sitting, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, from snakes, rabbits, and newborn kittens and puppies to farm animals like pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, and geese. I am also pursuing a career in veterinary medicine! Whether I’m pet sitting or simply helping an animal in need, I do it out of genuine love and compassion. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands, I’ll treat them like family. All of my pets are fed twice a day with portions based on their weight, and grooming is a regular part of our routine. My biggest dog gets bathed as often as he’ll let me, and the others are brushed regularly because of their long fur. My cat gets her weekly brushing too, and I clip claws as needed! While I don’t need to walk my dogs since we have a fenced yard with a doggy door, I still love taking them on walks around the neighborhood. And of course, playtime is a daily must because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that?

Nicole did such an amazing job taking care of my babies. Her kids were great with them and my dog definitely enjoyed having them around to play with while she was caring for them. I felt so much better while I was away from them knowing that she was caring for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Indian Head on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 13,868 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Indian Head. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Indian Head stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Indian Head choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Indian Head with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Indian Head. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
